Austin, Could we please make sure to include this bug for 7.8.3?
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9078 The ticket already includes a patch that solves the problem for us. As remarked by Levent, this bug will probably affect all EDSL that use Andy’s StableName-based observable sharing trick. Cheers, Manuel Austin Seipp <[email protected]>: > Hello all, > > It has been another slow week here, and there wasn't a lot I touched > in the tree this week.
